Comment on Habs will give youngsters a chance against Blackhawks (2014-10-01 15:10:09)I have three tickets in the whites available for sale for the Summit game against Buffalo. My family was planning on returning to the Summit after having so much fun last year but have to cancel our trip this time. If anyone is interested, I will only be selling them as a package and at the same price that I got them from Ian. You can contact me gregmacdnld@gmail.com. Thanks.

Comment on Sharks play party poopers for HIO Summit; Habs call up Leblanc (2013-10-27 22:47:05)I haven't posted much in the past but want to thank Ian for the awesome summit. My wife, son and I had a wonderful time and it's now on our agenda to come every year. What a great group of people! It was a family trip for us so I wasn't able to make it out to Hurley's but we had a fun time anyway. Thanks again Ian and looking forward to next year.

Comment on Subban back on the ice (2013-01-30 14:59:55)I'm in Toronto and have Bellfibe which I think is similar to Telus TV. I got the Winnipeg game last night but not the New Jersey game and I'm not sure why that is. Makes me think twice about getting Center Ice but I think with my system I have to get a French bundle to get RDS and I don't want to do that.

Comment on Liveblog: Rangers romp to 4-1 win over Canadiens (2012-03-30 20:25:37)Corey's worst decision wasn't firing Savard and Demers. It was firing them without having credible replacements. A lot of fans forget that Savard traded Leclair, Desjardins and Dionne for Recchi and a 3rd round draft pick. The Canadiens went into free fall after that and of course, the Legion of Doom was formed. If that trade hadn't been made I wonder if Patrick would ever have left the Canadiens.

Comment on Liveblog: Rangers romp to 4-1 win over Canadiens (2012-03-30 18:40:28)Not sure if this has been posted before but the next time time someone tells you they want McGuire to GM the Canadiens you should put them in a headlock and force them to read this article about Pierre's coaching regime in Hartford. He makes Mario look like Toe Blake. Here are a couple of highlights:
"In 15 years of covering the NHL, we had never seen a coach so universally disrespected and disliked within his own organization."
"In a blistering post-mortem, captain Pat Verbeek called McGuire's firing the best thing that could have happened to the Whalers. He said other teams mocked their coach. He said his own teammates had no respect for McGuire. He said a number of players wouldn't have wanted to play in Hartford anymore."
